- 1834 Whig Victory. HT-15, Low-7, DeWitt-CE 1834-2, W-10-20a. Rarity-6. Copper. Reeded Edge. 27 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). Medal alignment. A richly original piece with dominant antique copper patina that yields to outlines of steel gray on the central devices and peripheral lettering. The surfaces are hard and satiny with plenty of gloss. Boldly to sharply struck, if just a tad off center to 3 o'clock on the obverse. This lovely example is sure to please. This is a scarce variety in an absolute sense that is also conditionally rare in grades above Extremely Fine. One of the finest examples of which we are aware is the NGC AU-58 BN that sold for $4,313 in our June 2011 Baltimore Auction, lot 56. It was finer than both the Dice-Hicks specimen, cataloged conservatively as Extremely Fine but appearing better, and the primary Ford piece, which was a Choice About Uncirculated. The present example is comparable to both the Dice-Hicks and Ford specimens, and it will be a perfect fit for another outstanding Hard Times cabinet. Provenance: Ex Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
